Great Britain's Fed Cup team celebrated booking their place in a World Group promotion play-off by whitewashing the hosts, Israel, 3-0 on Friday night in Eilat.

Portugal's earlier victory over the Netherlands had already ensured Great Britain's progress into Saturday's match with Austria but Judy Murray's team were intent on finishing the round-robin stage in style.

Anne Keothavong got Great Britain off to a fine start with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Julia Glushko and Elena Baltacha confirmed victory with a superb 6-4, 6-3 win over the world No37, Shahar Peer.

The doubles pairing, Laura Robson and Heather Watson, wrapped up the dead rubber 6-2, 6-1 over Glushko and Keren Shlomo, completing a third straight win after previous successes over Portugal and the Netherlands.

"All our girls have played every day and they've proved now that they're a winning team," said Murray. "Again today they showed some fantastic competitive spirit and have done tremendously well to get through as group winners."

Baltacha reeled off six consecutive games to win the second set and her match against Peer and admitted: "Once I'd won the match point tears came to my eyes. It was such an amazing evening and one I will remember for a long time."
